Our porch roof and railing is currently housing a rather large spider. I think it may be nocturnal, because it has been out there every early (pre-sunrise) morning and post-sunset evening, but I have yet to see it in daylight. It took a few days for John to have an opportunity to see it, but he finally did. We were looking at it this morning before I left for work:

Me: I think he has a friend. There’s a little spider too. Same coloring, but small.
